Yahoo Lifestyle Kevin Bacon Reveals His Biggest Fear and It’s Pure Comedy
Kevin Bacon is opening up about what scares him the most in life — and it's totally relatable.
On a recent episode of Mythical Kitchen, host Josh Scherer asked the Bondsman star about his "biggest fear."
"This is terrible, but I've gotten so addicted to naps," Bacon began.
"You're onto the hard s--t, huh?" Scherer interrupted, laughing.
"I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to fit in a nap," Bacon continued. "And it depends on how long this lightning round goes because I'm already feeling threatened by the fact that I might not be able to get my ten — and they're only ten minutes long."
In the same episode, Bacon recalled a period in his life when he considered a life as a "lonely" farmer.
"I think I had gone through the intensity of Footloose and exploding into a kind of national kind of stardom, and then trying to deal with that," he explained.
"I just thought to myself, ‘I'll just be a guy with a dog and live alone. I don't need anything. I don't need anybody.'"
Bacon was residing in Connecticut when he met his now-wife of nearly four decades, Kyra Sedgwick, he said, and the couple lived in a "funky, small, rundown farmhouse."
Eventually, however, Sedgwick got fed up with country living.
"For a while, quite a few years actually, she sort of folded into that, and we kind of became that together," Bacon said. "And we lived in this little place, and I chopped the wood, and when we weren't working, she brought a dog into the mix. So it was us – and [our dogs] Jane and Tybalt."
"She said, ‘This is horrible. I want to go out to lunch. I want to go to the movies or the theater. I want to shop in the Village,’" Bacon continued.
After the "biggest fight we’ve ever had in our lives," the couple ended up moving to New York City.
"It was the greatest thing we ever did. She was so right. Raising kids in Manhattan was the best idea," Bacon says in hindsight.
Bacon and Sedgwick share two children: son Travis, 35, and daughter Sosie, 33.
